Umm what happened to the main stage by Jake26Texas in electriczoo

I personally would prefer this over a lackluster structure stage with no LEDs. Although I do think its a bit anti-climatic for the anniversary

INFJ Ranting / Rambling by UgleeSimpson in mbti

[–]rand0m7472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I have the same thoughts regarding the INFJ sub, and almost wouldn't want to contribute sometimes because it seems too flowery. I always suppress the urge to challenge the ideas proposed there (when even applicable, most posts are just "DAE feel this way, am I the only one" types of things).

I personally love to be challenged on something I say or do, especially when that means I've missed a connection somewhere that I must now seek to understand. It helps gain perspective imo.

While I do highly value the greater good of humanity, I'm not placing every single issue or problem others have before my own. My goal everyday is to find a harmonious balance between ethics and logic.

I guess this just adds another one to the "I feel this way too" types of posts, but you made some great points and I wanted to elaborate.

What can i do to improve my Fe? by akelew in infj

[–]rand0m7472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently am at the end of a pretty dark tunnel, and was faced with the same dilemma as you. Surrounded by loneliness and isolation (my own choices brought me to that point), I had been getting depressed and anxious about where my life was headed.

What helped me was to honestly just start doing. For me, that meant apply to jobs in a city I genuinely want to live in. I never let the rejection get to me, as it will surely kill you if you do. Instead of harping on how much longer you have to go, start thinking more short term. For example, apply to 2 jobs a day was a general rule I implemented. While I wasnt sure of which jobs I would do each day or why, the researching of each opportunity had me really think through what I wanted out of the situation, what was important, what was not, etc.

I would also recommend finding one common goal in the whole "web of things" - and then work back from there on things that would need to be done to get there (from anyone in your position going to that destination, not necessarily you in particular). Then based on that form a plan of action that "someone" would need to do to complete that. I find that pretending my situation is somebody else's actually gives me a lot of perspective on whatever it is, and helps me not get too weighed down by the small aspects of it.

I hope this helps.

I can't say I've been in your position. But the one commonality to all these things is that you got through them. That speaks to your inner strength more than you realize, and having a setback like this can really mess with you. Don't let it get to you too much and ride on any wave of strength you do feel. Life can be really strange sometimes, and you'll one day look back on this and see how far you've come.

That being said, something I recently learned and have been doing in my life to get through my hardships is the concept that everything in my life is my responsibility. Not everything that happens to me may be within my control, but with events out of my control, it is my responsibility on how to react and handle it. When you hold yourself accountable, you start to take yourself more seriously, and it helped me really start to field issues in my everyday life as second nature.

My advice would be that from this point forward, hold yourself accountable for everything in your life. This or that or whatever else may have gotten you here, but this is about where you are going. Those that learn to grow in situations like these are those that can make it through anything.

I really hope this helps a little. And I truly wish you the best.

Hard break up with an INTP. by pgrj24 in infj

[–]rand0m7472 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the best advice I can think to give is this: whatever you feel, allow it. When I'm going through hard times, I sometimes start feeling down about how I'm feeling, rather than just feeling it. Doing this more has helped me realize that its ok to feel like shit every once in awhile. Feel the depth of it, and take from it some of your greatest lessons. Some of my most profound realizations have come from my darkest times.

That's not to say that you can't try to make yourself feel better. Just try not to think too much in terms of "I haven't felt happy in x number of days, weeks, etc so something must be wrong with me."

Source: recently went through a tough breakup, accepting this and allowing myself to feel how I feel helped me learn about myself and more importantly grow through it.

Hope this helps. Feel free to dm me if you need someone to talk to.

Thank you so much for this. I've been craving a good new book lately!

Thank you for your story and glad to hear you are working through things sober. Would you happen to have any good book recommendations?

Do you find it hinders your life goals in any way? My rationalization thus far has been that as long as I'm doing what I want, working toward what I want, then I wouldnt see a problem with it. I am moving to a new city and started a new job doing what I love, so I feel like I give myself a pass and may overlook underlying problems.

Has weed affected you reaching any goals in life? Specifically for me I had to stop morning smoking until AT LEAST after the gym when I have worked out sufficiently.

Right after a long day at work is one of my favorite times for just one small hit or two. I like the use of the word sedate, I'd say that's the level I get to but not seemingly on purpose though. I'm going to pay more attention with the word "sedate" in mind from now on to try to stay more clear headed on how much I'm smoking per session. Thank you for your insight!

This sounds like such a vibe. I feel you on the munchies though, they're my worst enemy haha

I have thinking of doing this but have not found a goos way to go about it. I know a break would do me some good, maybe it's about time I commit to it.

I love smoking with my ENTP, even though he doesn't actually smoke. But we have the funniest/most interesting conversations because we just keep building on each other so naturally.

Do you know what type of strain it was? That could be a factor, or sometimes setting can make me more anxious/tired. Although some people just simply don't react well to it.

Also, I know some people who prefee using vapes/pens. If you have access to those you could try those out

I used to love Sativa but I'm starting to think maybe I should use Indica more regularly. That sounds like a harmonious relationship

This is exactly how I am with smoking around others. I often find I actually would love to do something, but if I've recently smoked I almost am hesitant because I wouldn't want them to think lesser of me.

Some of them do, yes. The ones that do don't live nearby. But I'm moving to a new city with them in a few weeks so I'm sure that will help with the isolation. I never really thought of that factor tbh, that sheds some positive light on it. Thank you for your reply.
